Machining a Brass Branding Iron on a Shapeoko

Brass is near the upper bounds of what we would recommend be machined on the Shapeoko, as it's much tougher than aluminum. But with some careful consideration of speeds and feeds, it can be machined quite readily. Here's how I made a branding iron using Fusion 360 and my Shapeoko.

Brass alloy used: C360 (This alloy is easier to machine than most other alloys of brass.)

We went over this project in a longer, more in-depth form during a previous Carbide Office Hours episode here: https://youtu.be/77ZdiOKrZ60
